They look almost as yummy before they are baked!  I love the cinnamon-brown sugar swirl!

These rolls coated in a sweet, slightly thick icing will just melt in your mouth.  I like to whip up the dough in my bread machine which makes the mixing and rising steps a snap.  I can just set it and go while it works it's magic!

Wanna kick your icing up a notch?  Just 2-3 drops is all it's need to be the most delicious icing you will ever eat.  Sweet, orangey...#drool!

INGREDIENTS:

Dough (place in your machine per instruction manual)

• 1 cup plus 2 Tbsp. milk, warm but not scalding
• 3 Tbsp. butter, melted
• 1 egg, beaten plus 2 egg whites
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 4 cups flour plus more for mixing (I like 2 cups bread flour and 2 cups whole wheat)
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 Tbsp. yeast

Filling

• 2 Tbsp. butter, melted
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• 1 Tbsp. cinnamon

Icing

• 1 tsp. milk
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 4 Tbsp butter, softened
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 2-3 drops Orange Vitality Essential Oil, optional

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Place all ingredients in your bread machine according to your specific machine's instructions.
2. Select "Dough" cycle. Add more flour, as needed until dough is no longer sticky.
3. Remove dough once finished and place on a well-floured countertop. Roll dough into large rectangle.
4. For filling, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Spread the melted butter onto the rolled out dough then sprinkle with sugar mixture.
5. Tightly roll up the dough so the roll is long and skinny. Using dental floss or sharp knife, slice rolls into 1" thick slices and place in a lightly greased baking dish.
6. Bake rolls at 325 degrees for 20-25 minutes, until lightly browned.
7. While rolls are baking, combine icing ingredients in small bowl with hand mixer. Spread on rolls immediately after removing from the oven. Serve warm.

You can also freeze the uncooked rolls on a sheet pan for 10 minutes, then place in a ziploc bag to be baked at a later date.  Just bring rolls to room temperature before baking!
